SHREVEPORT TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1972
For Shreveport Campus
Med School Funds Boost Proposed
in revenue from federal and-or
self-generated funds.
LSU's t w o - y e a r commuter
campus at Shreveport, for in-stance,
registers a $37,320 in-crease
over this year's spending
total, all of it in the federal
funds category.
The total budget for LSUS is
$1,744,415.
The executive budget does not
contain a breakdown on spend-ing
at the Shreveport medical
campus. All six branches of
LSU's medical operations are
lumped into one sum.
Systemwide, LSU w i l l be
spending $87.8 million in the
coming fiscal year, an increase
of $2.9 million.
Alexandria's two-year campus
is the only academic unit to
experience a net loss in funds.
Its b u d g e t has dipped to
$1,365,881, a decrease of $2,425.
The network of agricultural
experiment stations also shows
a net loss of $6,767, only a tweak
in the program's $7.8 million
total.
The main campus at Baton
Rouge is budgeted for $40.6
m i l l i o n , almost half of the
system total.
A comparison of the cost of
educating an average fulltime
student at the various LSU
campsues shows the two-year
branch at Eunice the most
expensive to operate.
Eunice spends $1,657.20 per
student; Baton Rouge, $1,436.42;
Alexandria, $1,273.14; Shreve-port,
'$1,124.67, and New Or-leans,
$958.51.
The cost per student was not
computed for the medical cam-puses.
The relatively high cost for
the Baton Rouge campus was
explained as due to the large
number of graduate programs
offered there.
Times Capital Bureau
BATON ROUGE — Gov. Ed-win
Edwards has proposed that
LSU's S h r e v e p o r t medical
school be the only campus in the
state university system to re-ceive
more state funds in fiscal
1972-73 than received this year.
This was the m e s s a g e
Wednesday in t h e executive
budget Edwards presented to
the legislature.
The S h r e v e p o r t medical
school is budgeted to receive an
additional $200,000 to establish
its fourth-year class.
Spending elsewhere in the
LSU system is being kept at
precisely the same level as this
year, as far as the use of state
funds goes.
However, with th exception
of Alexandria, all LSU cam-puses
have budgeted increases
